fbastos -> Frag: /norandom switch? (1/19/2005 5:05:04 AM)
Mr. Frag, Please ignore this if it was already handled. I asked Kid once, and he would ask Mike; now that you're holding the Alamo, let me repeat the question, so it won't be lost on the transition. Could we have a switch like /norandom that would make the random number generator repeatable between saves? The point is that anything that depends on a random number will not be repeatable, and if that anything has a bug, then the bug will not be repeatable. By having a switch that would force the random number generator to repeat the same sequence no matter how many times you load the saved file, you will get a huge improvement on obtaining the repeatable saves that are needed to eliminate the random bugs. Thanks, F.

According to Mr. Frag - there is no random number generator, just a pseudo-random number generator. There is a seed that is saved for this in the save game. See thread "Canadians Capture One of their own" - if you load WITP - load save - run turn - it will ALWAYS give you the same numbers. However, if you run another turn without exiting the game - you will get different results. Also, i have discovered that if you load WITP, load a saved game, make your orders, end turn you get different results than if you make your orders, save game, run turn - you get different results than if you take that same saved game and run it after just loading WITP.

Ah, right-o. I wasn't following that thread. Thanks for catching that. F.

Just to clear up your understanding ... there is no point adding such a switch as it would accomplish nothing. The game is supposed to repeat exactly. The fact that it is not is due to a bug that came in somewhere between 1.3 & 1.4. A switch would accomplish nothing hence Kid not actioning your request.
